Shot of the Week 2019/11 – Red Queen
Options When going through the week’s images looking for “the one”, I had a number of options. I could have shown the latest in the series of flower images I have been making in the past few weeks. They are good, to my eye at least, but would repeat what I have done previously during […]
London to Brighton Veteran Car Run 2018
The first Sunday in November always brings the renowned London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. It is the world’s oldest motoring event which has run continuously. A widely held belief is that the event celebrates the abolition of the legal requirement for someone with a red flag to walk in front of a motorised […]
Brighton Pride 2018
Brighton, Pride weekend and some of the most extrovert people on the planet were putting on a show. It was an opportunity too good to miss. Not having been to a Pride event previously, I went with a group organised by the Royal Photographic Society. That was definitely a good move. The parade started at […]
Blessing of the River Thames – 14 January 2018
I came across this religous ceremony, the Blessing of the River Thames, by chance. The story is that I had travelled to London Bridge for an organised photo walk around the Borough Market area. Unfortunately, having mixed up my dates, I discovered it had taken place the previous day. Oops. The organiser is a friend […]

More From the Chelsea Flower Show – Part 1
This is the first of two posts of my images from the Chelsea Flower Show. I have already posted my main photo of the day, but I took many more. Once again it was a good event, although overall I did feel that it did not quite match previous years. A number of regular sponsors […]
Photo of the Day – 24 May 2017: Chelsea Flower Show
I have been going to the Chelsea Flower Show for a few years and it is always an enjoyable day out. It represents the ultimate in gardening, even if everything on display is a construct. Ephemeral, the show gardens exist for a brief period with one ultimate aim. To be in peak condition when the […]
